BARQUISIMETO, Venezuela: Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido said he could have been killed during a shooting attack on a protest march in the country’s west that wounded a teenage boy. Guaido had been leading around 2,000 supporters through Barquisimeto city on Saturday when the incident occurred. A photo released by Guaido’s supporters showed a man standing next to a motorcycle, with his face covered, aiming a gun in the direction of the parliament speaker. His team said a 16-year-old boy was later shot in the leg but is now in a “stable condition.” They attributed the attack to pro-government vigilantes. Guiado said in a video published on social media after the march that “the dictatorship could have killed” him. He added that the incident will not deter him and his supporters. The state government and Barquisimeto mayor’s office have not commented on the incident.AFP
